JACKSON, MISS, July 5,-In the Cir.
cult Court this morning argument was
resumed on the motion OF the defend
ants Tor continuance Of the case OF
the State VS.. Jonas 3. Hamilton and
L. M. Eubsnk, on the ground that
from the excited condition Of the pub
lie mind the defendants cannot OBJ.
tain q fair and impartial trial. Hon.
L. W. Magruder, Of Vicksburg, Of the
counsel for the defense, spoke an hour
In advocacy Of the motion. The Court
declined to hear argument on the
other side, and after an extended ar
gument by the Court OF over fifteen
minutes, the motion was overruled, In
which ruling defendants excepted and
at once fled Q bill OF exceptions. The
District Attorney then called up the
motion for change Of venue, because
by reason Of undue prejudice in the
! public mind there cannot be had q
fair trial for either the State or de.
PENDANTS in the county and district
where the alleged offense was COM
mitted. Pending its consideration Mr..
Magrudsr fled an additional motion
for a continuance on the ground that
undue prejudice exists In the public
mind in this and adjoining counties,
which motion was overru'ed.
Counsel for defense filed and urged
the following objections to the motion
OF the State Tor a change Of venue:
FiBt-Because the indictment wal

Second-Because under the consti
tuition and laws Of the State, the Dis
trict Attorney has no authority L

Of the defendants.
